Every year, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving marks Giving Tuesday – the single most important day of service and generosity around the world. This year, the AMAC Foundation humbly invites you to make us a part of your charitable giving.
As Americans face economic uncertainty and a turbulent governing landscape, the AMAC Foundation stands as a firm pillar of support and guidance for older Americans. Particularly through our commitment to defend and preserve the promise of Social Security, the AMAC Foundation empowers everyday Americans to live healthy and prosperous lives.
Here are just a few of the critical missions that your gift today helps support:
Empowering Americans with Knowledge
The AMAC Foundation works tirelessly to ensure that Americans, especially seniors, have access to accurate, trustworthy information about their retirement benefits. Every year, our Social Security Advisory Service assists thousands of citizens across the country, providing free, one-on-one guidance from a team of nationally certified Social Security Advisors.
These experts help retirees navigate complex decisions about claiming strategies, spousal and survivor benefits, and how to maximize lifetime income. For many, this guidance means the difference between struggling in retirement and living with dignity. In 2024 alone, the AMAC Foundation handled almost 5,000 individual cases, helping families understand what they’ve earned — and how to make the most of it.
At the heart of this service is compassion. We treat every inquiry as an opportunity to serve, knowing that behind every question is a story — a husband worried about his wife’s benefits if he passes away, a wounded veteran who needs continued support, or a grandma and grandpa who want to ensure they are able to watch their grandchildren grow up.
Saving Social Security for the Next Generation
While we continue to serve today’s retirees, the AMAC Foundation is also confronting the growing challenge ahead — the future of Social Security itself. The program faces long-term funding shortfalls that could result in benefit cuts for millions of Americans in less than a decade.
That’s why the Foundation has expanded its mission to include promoting thoughtful, bipartisan reform through education and dialogue. AMAC’s proposal, the AMAC Social Security Guarantee, offers a commonsense framework to preserve and modernize the system without raising taxes or harming those who depend on it most. Our policy experts and leadership team have taken this plan to Capitol Hill, where it’s been reviewed by lawmakers across party lines as a serious, workable path toward solvency.
How Giving Tuesday Makes an Impact
Your Giving Tuesday gift to the AMAC Foundation directly fuels this life-changing work. Every donation expands our free advisory services, helps create new educational resources, and empowers us to reach more communities in need. It also brings solutions to lawmakers in D.C. for responsible Social Security reform — a mission that grows more urgent every year.
When you give, you’re not just supporting a program. You’re joining a movement — one that defends the rights, security, and dignity of older Americans. You’re helping ensure that our children and grandchildren inherit a system that works as promised.
Standing Together for America’s Future
This Giving Tuesday, as millions of Americans give back to the causes they believe in, we ask you to stand with the AMAC Foundation. Together, we can protect the lifeline that millions depend on, strengthen our nation’s financial future, and continue the Foundation’s vital work of education and service.
With your help, we’re changing lives today — and changing Social Security’s future for tomorrow.
